## Written prayer

My God, in the same way Stephen displayed an unwavering commitment to his convictions, unlock this level of conviction in my life. In the face of authorities with the power to execute, Stephen remained strong as he stood and expressed what he knew to be true both about Jesus and the religious leaders' stubborn hearts. In the same way, allow my life to resemble the same Spirit and strength that Stephen possessed. May my life prove that I have the presence of God in it, may my life prove that I base my commitment on a biblical foundation. Allow me to spot out and see the error of past thinking and old ways of being. Allow my life to stay steadfast as I keep my eyes on You Jesus. For I declare that commitment moves past the mind and emotions and goes straight to the will. Thank You for my commitment that brings my mind and emotions into alignment to achieve my purpose at all cost. Like Stephen, I will look up to the heavens to gain my strength and encouragement.

In Jesus’ Name, Amen.
